Further downside risk grows as volatility range holds

Looking ahead to the next few trading days, RKT/GBX is expected to range between GBX4,921 and GBX5,250. The probability of an upward move is considered very low, with a much higher likelihood of further downside if the price breaches support at GBX4,921. Sideways trading within this volatility band is the baseline scenario, while any bullish scenario would require price to break through resistance at GBX5,183.

Anton Kharitonov, expert at Traders Union, notes that Reckitt Benckiser remains technically weak with price action below all key moving averages and dominant bearish indicators. He sees little evidence for a reversal, with oscillators pointing lower and a strong resistance at GBX5,183. No fundamental or news-driven catalyst is present to trigger a change in sentiment. "Until we see a sustained break above GBX5,183, downside risk is in control and I remain defensive," Kharitonov says.

Earlier, analysts noted that Reckitt Benckiser's technical outlook was predominantly bearish, with continued pressure from sellers and an expectation for further downside movement. The current analysis reinforces this view with fresh indicators and highlights that a decisive move below support at GBX4,921 would be a key risk to monitor in the coming sessions.
